ABSU LAW CLINIC EMBARKS ON PRISON VISIT. The ABSU Law Clinic with the mandate to provide access to justice for the indigent members of the society did indeed embark on the Prison visit scheduled for the 11th and 12th day of June, 2013 and we recorded a successful visit though beset with obstacles. The students were divided into groups for the different Prisons. Okigwe had two (2) different groups of about 20persons and a group visited on 11th while the other group visited today being the 12th. They had access to the inmates and obtained information to enable the Clinic take steps to avail them of justice. The group for Umuahia encountered minor difficulties as they were not able to interview the inmates on 11th but were asked to return the next day being the 12th which they did. The visit culminated in their obtaining information from inmates and gathering data relevant to take further steps to avail the inmates of access to justice. The group for Aba Prisons visited the Prisons in aba, though we were received, we were adamantly refused access to the inmates, this the Clinic was informed was as a result of our inability to effect any release since the inception of our visits and we were informed alternatively to send questionnaires if we needed any information. A detailed report will be subsequently made available.
